Pro Tips

• Freeze uncooked wontons on a tray → store in a bag → cook straight from frozen

• Shrimp version: finely chop raw shrimp + same seasonings

• Add noodles if you want it extra hearty

If you want, I can give you a super-authentic Cantonese version, a 15-minute lazy version, or a vegetarian/mushroom one 😌
